Safety apparatus

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a safety system comprising:

• a closure device adapted to be pivotally mounted on a frame defining an aperture;
• a first member adapted to be coupled to one of the closure device and frame, said first member defining a profiled channel;
• and
• a second member adapted to be coupled to the other of the closure device and frame and defining a profiled portion, wherein said profiled portion is adapted to be received within the profiled channel and to rotate therein when the closure device is pivoted relative to the frame to open and close the aperture,
• wherein one of the first and second members is a pivoting member adapted to be pivotally mounted on the frame of the closure assembly via a pivot assembly, wherein said pivoting member is coupled to the closure device, such that said closure device is pivotally mounted on the frame via said pivoting member, said pivoting assembly comprising a pivot shaft adapted to extend between the pivoting member and frame and adapted to be retracted into at least one of the pivoting member and frame.

A closure assembly comprising:

• a frame defining an aperture;
• a closure device adapted to be pivotally mounted on the frame;
• a first member adapted to be coupled to one of the closure device and frame, said first member defining a profiled channel;
• and
• a second member adapted to be coupled to the other of the closure device and frame and defining a profiled portion, wherein said profiled portion is adapted to be received within the profiled channel and to rotate therein when the closure device is pivoted relative to the frame to open and close the aperture,
• wherein one of the first and second members is a pivoting member adapted to be pivotally mounted on the frame via a pivot assembly, wherein said pivoting member is coupled to the closure device, such that said closure device is pivotally mounted on the frame via said pivoting member, said pivoting assembly comprising a pivot shaft adapted to extend between the pivoting member and frame and adapted to be retracted into at least one of the pivoting member and frame.

A safety system for a door pivotally mounted on a frame, said safety system comprising;

• a first member adapted to be coupled to one of a door and a door frame, said first member defining a profiled channel;
• and
• a second member adapted to be coupled to the other of the door and door frame and defining a profiled portion, wherein said profiled portion is adapted to be received within the profiled channel and to rotate therein when the door is pivoted relative to the door frame to open and close an aperture at least partially defined by the door frame,
• wherein one of the first and second members is a pivoting member adapted to be pivotally mounted on the frame of the closure assembly via a pivot assembly, wherein said pivoting member is coupled to the closure device, such that said closure device is pivotally mounted on the frame via said pivoting member, said pivoting assembly comprising a pivot shaft adapted to extend between the pivoting member and frame and adapted to be retracted into at least one of the pivoting member and frame.
